the World to Be Erected at
Helena, Mont.
New Mines to BE Opened to Supply Ore
Hallway to Be Built in
Connection.

HELENA, M. T., Dec. 27.-The new
smelling works soon to be built in this
city by syndicate of Northern Pacific
railroad officials and local capitalists will
be the largest in the United States, and
will cost, when completed, over 81, 500, :
600. The smelter will have the product
of some twenty-five or more developed
mines, owned by the smelter COM
pany, from which guaranty
of sufficient ore can be obtained
and viii also purchase all the ore offered
for sale by private parties. The Wickes
smelling works, which viii form a
branch concern of the same company,
have had to stop purchasing ore because
of their inability to handle it in the guam
tity offered, notwithstanding that they
are kept constantly running to their full
capacity. New mines are constantly be-
ing discovered and opened up, but
exceedingly rich they do not
kets at Chicago, Omaha and Salt Lake.
Helena is the natural center of the most
prolific precious metal-bearing country
on. the face of the earth, and great
smelter located here will not only furnish
a market for all grades of gold and silver
ores, but prove very profitable to the
owners, and thousands of tons of ore now
shipped out of Montana will be reduced
into bullion at home. A contract has
already been closed for several hun
bred tons of ore per day from thu
C9ur d'Alene mines, and ores viii come
for reduction from all parts of northern
Idaho and the British possessions as fast
as fast as transportation facilities are
completed, as the nearest cash market
The Castle mountain district only sixty
miles away and where the smelling COM
pany have large mining interests, will
furnish an abundance of silver lead ores
of an admirable character for fiuxiH g.
A branch railway will be built into the
Castle district early in the spring.
